BRANCH RATINGS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first recorded use of the rating of \u2018Sick Berth Attendant\u2019 appears in an Admiralty directive of 1833, when Commanding Officers were ordered to organise such a category of naval rating in each ship. These early Sick Berth Attendants received no formal training and had to rely on knowledge and experience gained from working with ship-board surgeons. This situation soon proved to be unsatisfactory and it was obvious that a complete review of the workings of the Naval Medical Service was urgently required. The catalyst for reform was the Crimean War of 1854-5, but it was to be another thirty years before any reform took place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In June 1883 a Committee was formed to enquire into the organisation and training of Naval Sick Berth and Nursing Staff. This Committee was known as the Hoskins Committee after its chairman Rear Admiral A. H. Hoskins. Although the committee completed its findings in late 1883, it was not until October 1884 that an Order in Council authorised the establishment of a trained Sick Berth Branch for male ratings. At the same time the female Naval Nursing Service was also established, receiving Royal patronage in 1902 and becoming the Queen Alexandra Royal Naval Nursing Service.<br>In 1891 the ratings of the Sick Berth Branch were given a new style of uniform. Instead of the \u2018Square rig\u2019 consisting of blue serge jumper and bell-bottom trousers they were given a jacket, ordinary trousers, white shirt, black tie and a peaked cap known as a \u2018Fore and Aft\u2019 rig. This style of uniform was issued to all ratings \u2018not dressed as seamen\u2019. Skilled tradesmen, known as \u2018Artificers\u2019 also wore this uniform, so it was only natural that a Sick Berth Attendant was nicknamed \u2018Sick Berth Tiffy\u2019.<br>Initially the nursing side of a probationers training only lasted three months, but this proved too short a period and it was extended to six months. This was followed by a year in a Naval Hospital to gain experience before the Sick Berth Attendant was allowed to go to sea. Sometimes when he was drafted to a small ship he was the only medically trained person on board.<br>Gradually the SBA was able to obtain specialist training in such areas as Operatering Theatre Technician, Radiographer and Massuer (Physiotherepist). With the political situation in Europe worsening at the beginning of the twentieth century the Royal Naval Auxilary Reserve was reformed as the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. Sick Berth ratings had their own branch known as the Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve, which was manned by members of the St John Ambulance Brigade.<br>At the outbreak of the war in 1914 the Sick Berth Branch consisted of about 5,000 men, this was later increased to about 15,000 including the RNASBR. The Royal Naval Sick Berth Auxilary Reserve continued until the end of the Second World War. In 1949 it was disbanded when the Sick Berth Branch of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve was formed. Further changes took place in 1965 when the words \u2018Sick Berth\u2019 was dropped in favour of \u2018Medical Assistants\u2019 and \u2018Medical Technicians\u2019, also at this time the Queen Alexandra Royal Naval Nursing Service (QARNNS) was reorganised permitting men to join as Nursing Officers and Ratings.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_0e2cf8-70 >
